«Lady L.» is the novel by Romain Gary, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Lady L., a respectable elderly woman, confesses to a biographer the story of her youth: at the end of the 19th century she was called Annette and worked as a prostitute, until she meets Armand Denis, a famous and persecuted anarchist bandit. The narrative combines irony, romance and criticism of social hypocrisy, and moves between feigned identity and memory.
Translation by Gema Moral Bartolomé; this edition by Círculo de Lectores appeared in Barcelona in October 2005.
Will appeal to readers of French, historical or contemporary fiction who appreciate irony and ambiguous characters.
